Title:
What kind of faculty reward/penalty system will encourage/affect involvement?
|
Discussion:
- Current Reward Structure
- Monetary
- Prestige [become a more powerful player]
- Status
- Peer recognition
- Academic recognition
- Student recognition
- Usually done early on in career
- No real consequences for not doing something
- Research vs. teaching - promotion process
- Faculty do very well what they are rewarded for.
Questions
- Is there a difference between rewards at research vs. teaching institutions?
- How can we transition between research and teaching?
- What are the incentives for sharing research?
- Why is there limited distribution of research?
- Bench-science vs. social science?
- How do institutional values influence individual faculty performance?
- How do the larger issues of expectations/standards and measures come into play?
- How can we avoid research bad, teaching good?
- How does the tenure/promotion process affect the 'choices' faculty make?
- What is the role of past-tense review consequence?
- What are consequences of not excelling at teaching?
- What is the reward for faculty to buy-in to the importance of teaching?
Strategies
- Reward/Penalize unit rather than individual faculty members - budget allocation, etc.
- Revamp promotion process measures?
